Duration: 3-4 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Eugene, OR, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

huge triangle with 3 lights

first i saw what i saw what i thought was a star then realized it was actually moving. so i pointed it out to my daughter and told her it must be an airplane super high up. she says, "but daddy their are 3 and are in a big triangle." sure enough thats what i saw also. the lights were so far up they looked like distant stars. they moved across the sky in this pattern. it could maybe fit in the big dipper. it was headed NW. and was not visible after just a few minutes. it held this pattern and the distance between the objects did not change. when looked at as a whole it looked like a single huge object moving. would have been hard to see without someone pointing it out.
